The Debacle Named AvaRafe

11. What the hell did just happen?

Just like that a whole week had past, and I was back on the scene. By scene I meant the whole high school drama! I had just finished handing over the essay on "Gender bias in Modern times" to Mrs. Lupes and ended the torturous four lectures and now was the time for the lunch period.

Right from the second, I had made my entrance through the school gates, my movements were being followed by each and every living person out there. It was so frustrating to the point that I was starting to believe I'd grown an extra pair of eyes, or perhaps a head too! But I knew better than to pay any heed to their grievances.

Mum had warned me against creating any mess of that sort in the future or she threatened to cutoff my weekly jar of peanut butter. That was enough for me to get my shit together and I promised myself that I'd stay as far away from that live incarnation of a devil as was possible. Although, that day at the hospital still kept playing in my mind.

As I neared the cafeteria, I was yet again aware of the eyes of numerous hawks on me as if I was their prey. Majority of them didn't even know of my existence before all that hassle! People, go get a life! I'm still the same girl you all didn't even spare a first glance, let alone a second one! A simple fight, and I become a hot topic! And it's not even like it happened just today or anything. A whole week has passed, and they still seem to be hung up on that day even now.

Whatever, I'm just going to get my food and I'm outta here.

As I make my way towards the line, there's a commotion at the entrance of the cafeteria. There's a swarm of girls out there. I try peeping through the fake ass blondes in tight belts covering their you-know-whats, but it's no use. More girls push themselves into the mob. Great. Why should I even care. It's not like Ed Sheeran is going to walk in from those doors singing 'Shape of You'! So, I just turn around and notice that there's no one in front of me in the lunch line. Good for me. Whoever that is in there, surely is a guardian angel in my eyes for helping me meet the love of my life and that is 'food'.

I don't waste anymore time and order my chicken sandwiches​ with a heap of french fries drizzled with mustard sauce at the side. Weird combo, I know. But who said, I'm normal? I'm as weird as anyone can get!

As soon as my order arrives, I head straight to the back of the school ground. For a fact, I know that at this hour, it's always empty. At most of the days, this has been my safe haven during the lunch break, in addition to the library. But since, I was no longer allowed in the library, thanks to that douche. At this, my thoughts again wander to that day at the hospital. He was so different that day. I'd never seen him so fragile....almost broken. He wasn't himself, or.... maybe he was. Maybe he just portrays himself as the bad boy in order to mask his vulnerability. But why would anyone do that? I mean, it's not like anyone can do anything to the Rafe Karrington!

Anyways, why am I even bothering about who the hell he is? I'm better off without that devil in my already messed up life. I won't go anywhere within a 100 meters radii of his presence. He's a nuisance that I intend to stay away from. After all, haven't you all heard of the saying 'Prevention is better than cure'?

That resolve made, I dig into my lunch. I'm so engrossed in my devouring marathon that I don't even notice that I was being watched from behind a tree until that certain someone starts laughing. I jerk awake from my reverie, and my eyes follow the voice coming from a hooded figure standing at a distance of two feet from where I sat.

"What's so funny? And who even creeps on any girl like that? Most importantly, who are you?" I scrunch my forehead as the sound really did sound awe-fully familiar.

"Awe grouchy-pants, you really wound me." he says coming towards me and even before he removes his hood, I know who that is!

"I didn't know, you would forget my handsome face so soon."

And that's it. I grab all my belongings in mere seconds and dash towards the school. How can I break my promise this soon? All throughout my run, only one thing keeps running in my head 'Oh I don't want to lose you. You are the one thing that keeps me sane. Helps me sleep at night. I can't imagine my life without you! Oh, the love of my life, I won't allow anything or anyone to come in between us. If by staying away from that idiot means that I can continue being with you, I would gladly stay miles away from him. I love you, Peanut butter!'

"Wait, what?" with that, I'm pulled back and caged between the devil I was running away from and a god damned tree. How the hell was he able to keep up with my speed. The one thing that I've pride for myself has got to be running ability. I used to win all the track races during middle school. But then shit happened, and I stopped participating in the events. But, I still can outrun the best athlete there is in my school any day, or so I'd thought until now.

But of course, this idiot has to prove me wrong in everything!

"Asshole. Leave me right this instant." I said, to which he freaking smirked! The nerve of him!

"Why? Can't keep your hands to yourself, muffin?"

"Ewwww.... that's so gross, douche. Why would you even think of that? You truly, completely disgust me! Now unhand me right now or I'll bite your hand off and feed the pieces to Sherry, my dog!" I say, swatting his hands away from me. But he stays put, a little shaken, but doesn't budge.

"I will, if you tell me why you ran like a madwoman upon seeing me as if I were a zombie!"

"That's because you are a zombie to me. Or even worse than a zombie."

"Oh, come on. I'm way too hot to be termed as a zombie. Have a look at my face, any girl would die to be in your place right now."

"Well, good for you. But I'm not every girl."

"I noticed." He said more to himself, coming awe-fully close to my face. The atmosphere seems to have changed and it feels suffocating.

"What are you doing?" I say, squirming under him. My stomach was having these weird movements, that almost felt like my menstrual cramps. Only these felt good.

"Exactly my point. What are YOU doing to me?" With that, he just pulled himself up and strode out of the grounds, covering his face with the hood of his hoodie.

As for me, I just stood their, looking at his back, thinking - "What the hell just happened?"
